   Indispensable

   Zabbix has been part of my toolbox for quite some time. I can easily say it's an indispensable tool for me now.

   Managing a dozen servers without Zabbix would be unimaginable. I'm monitoring all of this: CPU, Memory, Hard-drives, website response times, downtime. The UI might be a bit "old school", but everything works flawlessly.

   With regards to hard-drive monitoring, I love the machine learning option that allows you to "predict" the number of days before running out of space. That's quite helpful, as I've got some of my servers down due to running out of space multiple times in the past (before I was using Zabbix).

   👍 Pros:    Open-source|It can monitor everything

   👎 Cons:    The ui is a bit unintuitive in some cases

• How I am getting experience as a linux admistrator (Follow Up)

  He suggested that I indeed should set up a home-lab. To be specific he said that I should create a minimal install of Centos 8 and install zabbix server on it (https://zabbix.com) and monitor a whole bunch of other VMs, services and stuff.. He said that I should set up a variety of VMs and also maybe host a website on one of them. And then if I was able to do that, I could help to share a load of zabbix related...

• TimescaleDB compresses time-series data

  At StackGres [1] we find Timescale to be one of the most used extensions. Timescale is quite a successful project! StackGres is actually the first solution recommended by Timescale for self-hosting with Kubernetes operators [2]. So if you are into Kubernetes (or if not, consider it, using something like K3s [3] is quite straightforward and lightweight on resources), this is probably a great option to self-host... - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• Show HN: SQL-tap – Real-time SQL traffic viewer for PostgreSQL and MySQL

  * Latency. Yes, yes, yes, they add "microseconds" vs "milliseconds for queries", and that's true, but just part of the story. There's an extra hop. There's two extra sets of TCP layers being traversed. If the hop is local (say a sidecar, as we do in StackGres) it adds complexity in its deployment and management (something we solved by automation, but was an extra problem to solve) and consumes resources. If it's a... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Application Less Containers

  This is conceptually similar to what we did for Postgres extensions at the StackGres [1] project. I gave a talk at a Kubecon about it [2]. However, this scheme is not perfect. Some Kubernetes security solutions enforce immutable containers, and once the agent pulls any additional file into the container, it will be flagged. It's also harder to reason about the security of the image (think CVEs, etc), given that... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Pg_lakehouse: Query Any Data Lake from Postgres

  I applaud the decision to use AGPL-3.0. For me, it's a license that provides forward guarantees to the Community: no proprietary forks can happen, so any fork will be an OSS fork from which the upstream project may benefit too, which benefits all users. That's the reason we chose this license for StackGres [1], another project in the Postgres space. [1]: https://stackgres.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Keycloak with PostgreSQL on Kubernetes

  This is good and interesting recipe to get Keycloak and Postgres on Kubernetes. There is an important improvement, though: the Postgres deployed here is not production ready (high availability, backups, monitoring, etc). We run Keycloak on StackGres [1] which gives us production-ready Postgres setup (disclaimer: it's dogfooding). Happy to share the YAML manifests used to deploy Keycloak with StackGres. Maybe we... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
